I bought a bunch of the CDNN "used" AK magazines, the ones that were $8.99 for use in my WASR-10.
The three magazines that I had already worked great.
Of the six magazines from CDNN, 5 looked to be in new condition, with the factory grease all over and no carbon or dirt from being used. One was well-used and except for the worn finish (in the pretty swooping lines of the exposed ribbed metal) was in excellent condition (and much easier to clean without all that grease).
One of the five new-looking magazines locks in place just fine, and even fires perfectly. However, it takes both hands to push the magazine release lever, and once that's done I have to lean on the magazine to get it out of the well (while holding the lever).
But that's only a problem with the one magazine. There doesn't appear to be anything different about it (except the mark I put on the floorplate). What's going on?
